Agreed. Cal had no options when UCLA left. ASU probably has options or at least had options, so it’s hard for them to come back and play the victim if the PAC falls apart.

It’s still Elwood Drive and Sec Taylor to me, so I think you can say whatever you want here. Just maybe not while driving a Tesla, Elon may be listening.
If the PAC totally falls apart, they can go independent easily. Their non-revs and basketball can compete in the MWC or WCC. Football - they can probably get $10M range for whatever home games they can schedule, and when they have ND at home NBC will probably pay $10M just for that one game.
Yeah, and Palo Alto voting down a multi-family apartment complex - not in our neighborhood.
Difference between obnoxiously high B1G payments. And according to the PAC 12 the money could be better than the Big 12’s when everyone in America signs up for Apple+ and the PAC 12 subscription. Hell ASU owes Arizona when the Wildcats go Big 12.
You are overstating Robbin's role. Sure he has the voice vote, but he's taking direction from others. His AD, Boosters and Regents.
If the underlying support is strongly behind joining Big12, Robbins will go that direction, even if he has misgivings.
I'll fully admit my knowledge base is heavily based on Iowa State and Iowa, but its been my understanding that financially the athletic programs and universities essentially stand alone. The only financial contribution the athletic departments would make to the university is paying tuition for the student athletes and maybe some use fees for university facilities. Otherwise the athletic depart spends the money they generate on things within the department like coaches salaries, team opperating budgets, and facility improvements. In the not too distant past the universities actually subsidized the athletic programs (this might still be the case at UNI). Now from a marketing and perception standpoint their is absolutely a significant role the athletic programs have for the university.
Probably stupid question that may not matter. But if anyone is bored at work, it would be interesting to see how many UA grads are on the ABOR vs ASU grads
We are seeing the difference between having a "Proactive" vs a "Reactive" Commish in real time.
Stay aggressive and think outside of the box. Not that all of Yormark's ideas will work but trying them and keeping the ones that do will make the conference "hip" and show strength which should help sell the conference in the next media rights deal. That is my hope at least.
Do they also owe Northern Arizona because they didn't get an invite?
Do Iowa and Iowa State owe UNI because they didn't get an invite?
Again, I'm not advocating this. Iowa State and Iowa owe UNI nothing...
I'm sorry, this is just one of the funniest videos I've ever seen, regardless of what context they are trying to use it in. I'm still crying from laughing so hard.
Iowa owes us exactly enough money to create a TV station
